It often happens that people
want to dry up something or somewhere, or they want to prevent
drying for some other reasons. If sugar, salt or other chemicals
are able to affect the evaporation of water, we can use them to
decrease or increase the evaporation of water as we need to. In
this experiment we will only test salt and sugar, because they are
easily available at home. However many other chemicals are
available for industrial use and can be tested for their affect on
the evaporation of water.

Material and instructions In this project we want to see if
adding sugar or salt to the water will affect its rate of evaporation.
